Welcome To BLOGMAS Day 16!

Hola people! Just thought of sharing with you my current workout plan! I have had a long history of trying different workouts, failing, trying again and then again until something worked for me.

It took me a great deal of time and techniques to know my body, internally and externally. What suits my body, what is my limit to push the farthest, whether I can run for long or not, etc. I realized that almost everything works for everybody if planned keeping in mind what they want to achieve. 

For me it was always about weight loss and toning. So I planned my workouts accordingly. I had to do some extensive research, watch some videos, try different workouts and observe how my body responded. I mix and match a lot many exercises and keep changing my regime accordingly.

I workout 5 days a week, out of which, 3 days are strength/weight training and 2 days are cardio. Each session lasts for 50-60 minutes. I follow a single workout plan for 4 weeks and then change to a different plan. Below is my current one which is a Beginners level as I have just started to workout after a long hiatus!
